My version of PoP-TTT has identical dummy sectors from 677649 to 1906448 (2176480 overall), so you can calculate yourself how much HDD you will save just by activating Windows compression on your full image

I have the full image on my HDD right now, not a Maxi-image.

@I_Will_Never_Die
Every SF DVD title MUST have a certain size and therefore (more or less) dummy files, so that the physical check (not the ISO check) can be performed as it's meant to be. Watch your sectors in Isobuster or Alcohol's CD/DVD Manager. You will find a huge range filled with '4141', as i mentioned more than half the DVD.
So just Activate Windows compression for your main image file (rightclick on the folder/file and select Properties->Advanced button, then check the box beside "Compress contents to save disc space"); then your image will use "only" ~2GB HDD space.
